the tribune thursday march 3 1918 5 retirement the fourth quarter hows your driving for younger drivers a general admonition is dont drive too fast for we seniors its more likely to be dont drive too slowly too cautiously the very slow in decisive driver in todays hurrying complex traffic may contribute to an accident because of the impatience of other drivers a fellow columnist for example writes of frustration while waiting for an elderly lady to park a volkswagen and let me the hell by if you cannot react with reasonable speed to quickly changing traffic situations perhaps you should pack it up if you have serious physical problems poor sight bad nerves let somebody else drive take a taxi or bus even if a driving test has not caught up with your deficiency as an older driver there are precautions you can take to remain ac cidentfree in heavy traffic do not try to carry on a conversation or point out the scenery driving safely is a full time job dont drive in rush hour traffic you no longer need to if you feel the least bit un certain about it dont drive after dark if you have trouble changing lanes checking the traffic pattern behind before you make your move stay off busy multilane highways dont ride the brake you probably learned to drive with a standard gear shift and may find it hard to keep your left foot away from the pedal select driving con ditions and situations you can handle good weather and roads other than rush hours daytime then drive with con fidence because you are likely to be in a relatively low accident group in ontario for example there are over 300000 licensed drivers over 65 that is seven per cent of the driving population but they are involved in only 45 per cent of all accidents gretta riddelldixon ryerson college professor and expert on the problems and op portunities of the aging tells me how chronological age of driver affects car ac cidents there is a high rate of accidents until drivers reach about age 21 there is a slow decline until about 35 followed by a levelling off until about 65 then there is a slow- rise but it is only after 76 or 77 that the accident by leslie holbrook- rate of older drivers matches that of those in the 20 and 21 age group young drivers are twice as likely to have an accident involving speed older drivers are twice as likely to have a crash in a rightofway conflict after age 80 your provincial regulations likely require that you take an annual driving test this makes sense and you should welcome it it is for your own protection in ontario and perhaps in your province too anyone over 70 with a medical problem likely to affect driving or who has been involved in a recent collision also is requested to take the annual driver examination welcome this too in fact 1 recommend that you try a test if you have any doubt at all about your 1978 driving capabilities send your questions and comments to the tribune co po box 1506 guelph ontario nlh cn9 free enterprise needed by sinclair stevens mp faced with our economic problems i suggested last week that we could restore this nations vitality and prosperity by allowing the free enterprise system to produce with a minimum of government control and taxation ten years ago we were the second most prosperous country in the world on a per capita basis right next to the united states which of course is our greatest free enterprise nation in the past decade we have been slipping until we are now tenth or eleventh in the world and in my opinion it is due in part to the heavy orientation we have taken to central government control we were told that government could do better the record proves that the more you orient to governmental control the more you stifle prosperity next time some fellow tells you hes got a better system call it socialism or whatever you like challenge him ask him to prove it tell him if we were going to duplicate the success of the principle centralist all invited to belleville an authentic 100 year old log cabin rebuilt in downtown belleville is the headquarters for our citys centennial being celebrated this year belleville a pioneer united empire loyalist settlement has been the home of many diverse personalities such as the well known author susanna moodie the irascible former newspaper reporter who for a short time was canadas prime minister sir mackenzie bowell and bill davis the talented hollywood producer of the sonny and cher show and the upcoming john denver special our city is situated 120 miles east of toronto on the macdonald cartier freeway and is on the main canadian national rail line from toronto to montreal the citizens of belleville extend a friendly invitation to all former residents to join with them for their centennial celebrations and especially homecoming week starting july 30th homecoming week will feature exciting parades moonlight cruises on the beautiful bay of quinte ethnic feasts and band concerts of course it will also be a time of reunion and family gatherings yours very truly j ben corke mayor city of belleville society the soviet union we in canada and the united states would have to abandon threefifths of our steel capacity two- thirds of our hydro generating capacity and 14 out of 15 of our paved highways if we were going to enjoy what the statist- couectivist approach has given russia we would have to tear up two of every three miles of railway tracks sink eight or nine of our ocean- liners and scrap nineteen out of every twenty cars and trucks we drive we would have to cut our living standard by threequarters our poverty line is the soviet unions average in come destroy 40 million television sets nine of ten telephones and we would have to get rid of seven out of ten of our homes and oh yes tell him wed have- to put 60 million north americans back to work on the farm it is not only on this continent that free en terprise has proven itself successful on nearly every continent there is a pair of culturally similar nations one capitalist the other couectivist consider north and south korea tanzania and kenya east and west germany if we compare these nations we find that the statistical evidence almost always favours the nonsocialist nations for example time magazine recently reported that the average worker in south korea would have to work 25 hours to buy a pair of shoes his counterpart in couectivist north korea would work 39 hours for the same pair capitalist kenya though very similar geographically to neigh boring tanzania spends almost three times on public education and twice as much on public health as its socialist neighbor kenyans like to boast that they own nearly five times as many automobiles as tan- zanians in europe the twin germanys provide the most striking illustration of the success of private enterprise west german gross national product on a per capita basis is approximately 90 per cent higher than its communist sister 7380 compared to 4220 when i graduated from law school in the mid fifties our real growth was 10 per cent per year and inflation was a mere one per cent per annum we did well right into the midsixties but then we were told there was a better system and that the traditional system wasnt working the government it was suggested could do even better now ten years later we find federal authorities are spending 50 billion of our money compared to 10 billion in 1967 no that is wrong well i reject all this theory which concludes we should lower our expectations and i hope you do too lclt to right enoymg earl living room are
